  1. A Global Perspective on Blood Pressure Treatment and Control in a Referred Cohort of Hypertensive Patients Problematic: Scarce data on BP treatment, BP control and drug utilization on global scale Goal: Resolve the lack of information to gain further insight into national and regional BP control and antihypertensive pharmacotherapy prescribed in practice by analyzing the data of i-SEARCH (International survey) Bramlage P, et al. J Clin Hyper. doi: 10.1111/j.1751-7176.2010.00322.x

  2. i-SEARCH method 26 countries across the world (n=18 652)

  3. i-SEARCH method Baseline characteristics: Treated patients: n= 18 652 Age (years): 63.0 ± 11.4 Sex (male): 52.2% Type 2 diabetes: 24.3% SBP (mm Hg): 148.2 ± 19.8 DBP (mm Hg): 86.7 ± 11.6

  4. The majority of hypertensive patients are uncontrolled Uncontrolled Patients BP control (%)

  5. 1 hypertensive patient out of 3 is treated by 3 drugs

  6. Similar use of drug regardless ofthe region of the world

  7. Conclusion • BP reading were on average too high and not tailored toward an increased risk • Potential for an improvement of BP control in daily practice • This would result in considerable reductions of morbidity
